I picked up the compilation CD that has
Apotheosis - O Fortuna.
It was an awesome rave song that I used to love when I went to raves in L.A. in the 80's & early 90's.
It was released in 1991 and then removed from all of the shelves.
Quote:
This record was a real hype in the early 90's house-scene. This was caused by the family Orff who owned the rights on the original masterpiece by the classic composer Carl Orff.
On most classic music, there are no copyrights, but on the "Carmina Burana" there are...
The family Orff sued "Apotheosis" and won; the record was removed from the stores!!!
(...so that's why this item is a collectors-item).

The only bummer is that I haven't been able to rip the song to mp3.
